Priorities
In a delayed recording, waves are recorded in the order assigned in the
Delayed/Alarm Recording Task Window, and the number of waves
recorded is determined by the recorder configured for delayed
recordings. In alarm recordings, the alarming parameters replace the
waves in the lower channels. In the default alarm recording, the top
channel contains the first delayed wave, usually ECG. Additional
delayed channels are overwritten by the additional alarming parameter,
starting at the bottom channel, in the following priority:
• Parameter whose alarm status has escalated in the last second,
and has alarm recording enabled.
• Parameter in red alarm with alarm recording enabled.
• Parameter in yellow alarm with alarm recording enabled.
• Parameter in red alarm with alarm recording disabled (if space is
available).
• Parameter in yellow alarm with alarm recording disabled (if space
is available).
